...Brice. Meanwhile, Senior Editor A. T. Baker wanted to know what ever happened to Nicky Arnstein, Fanny Brice's former gangster husband, who was last heard of years ago somewhere in Los Angeles. TIME'S Hollywood Reporter Joyce Haber mobilized the help of three police departments, the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the intelligence unit of the Treasury Department, lawyers, nightclub owners, columnists and several helpful hoodlums. She finally tracked him down in a shabby Los Angeles hotel, providing a classic footnote to the story...
According to the authoritative magazine Aviation Week, the All was trucked in pieces out of Lockheed's secret "Skonk Works" at Burbank, Calif., and assembled for flight testing at a hidden Nevada base called "The Ranch." When its secret could no longer be kept, the airplane was described misleadingly as an "interceptor." It is more likely to be anything but. It sacrifices everything for extreme speed at extreme altitude (probably above 125,000 ft.), where there is nothing to intercept...
Ploughshare optimism is based on studies of a long series of craters blasted by both chemical and nuclear explosives in the Nevada desert. The first, called Buster Jangle-U. (1951), used a crude atom bomb with a yield of 1.2 kilotons. It dug a circular hole 53 ft. deep and 258 ft. in diameter.

Three men had been arrested and charged with his kidnaping, and all but $6,114.24 of a $240,000 ransom payment had been recovered. Besieged by newsmen's requests for details as to how its sleuths had caught...
With the paper she acquires instant residence, the chief attraction of Mexican divorces. (Nevada and Idaho require all of six weeks; Alabama, once an easy-divorce state, now requires a full year's residence.) It takes only another few minutes for the judge to grant a divorce; by Chihuahua law, his court now has jurisdiction over the visitor. All further steps will be handled by the Mexican lawyer. The new divorcee gets her elaborate Spanish decree with its impressive ribbons and seals. Legal costs can amount to as little as $500, or as much as the traffic will bear...
